Last time I drove through Headington the shark was still there. The artist who installed it died recently, I think.
I used to visit Oxford very regularly as my best friends lived there, but now they've moved. It's become an absolute nightmare for drivers with LTNs blocking any cross route, forcing you to drive almost to the centre to come back round, or having to take a circuitous route to get anywhere. Plus you can't park anywhere. This is what you get with 'green' councils. Sorry, had to get that off my chest!
Friends have been going on about Ripley (based on book/film The Talented Mr Ripley) so I watched the first episode.. thought it was absolute shite. Zero chemistry between the characters, Andrew Scott plays Ripley as kind of creepy with Aspergers (why the fck Dicky Greenlief would befriend him I don't know) and then they really jump the shark with Eliot Sumner (Sting's daughter, but identifies as non-binary) playing Freddie Miles, with a deeeep voice..
Can't watch any more of it. If you've seen the brilliant original film, this is a travesty. IMHO, of course.
Seeweed who was in the Ozrics and Gav who was in Eat Static are both old friends of mine. In fact when they were in the Thunderdogs, I was briefly their manager as well.
A musical top ten that excludes everyone else is a terrifying idea!
Nevertheless, here goes:
Debussy Bowie Miles Davis Ravel Chopin Chet Baker JJ Cale Schubert Mozart Rachmaninoff
But as this is a football forum, I think we should really have at least 11 choices, with five subs!
Edit: I missed out Bowie. Revised my list and dropped Liszt... but I hated doing that. Ugh. Top 11 and 5 subs next time please!!
I'm assuming it was a typo (or Freudian slip perhaps), but I really like "soul income" Mart. Sums up what making music, or creativity in general, is all about.
I was racking my brains for my favourite rock or pop or jazz artist and I couldn't think of just one. So who is my favourite musician, I thought, and realised it has to be Debussy.
I see Esox has preempted me on the classical front. I think, like so many great artists, Debussy transcends the genre.
I was at the game courtesy of Bill Power who got me a ticket, God bless him. Does anyone know what happened to Bill? I hope he's well.
I just rewatched the second half, so nostalgic, but amazing how much I'd forgotten about the game, for example, the fact that Richard Edgehill even played for us! And how baggy are those shirts? What a day that was.
Watched the open-topped bus parade from the roof of the Bushranger. As the yoot would say nowadays, absolute scenes.
"A heart-warming tale of love and redemption, when a Shepherd's Bush tramp has his life turned round by the regular donation of change from a legendary QPR striker."
"The available evidence indicates that high-level athletes can maintain performance during Ramadan if physical training, food and fluid intake, and sleep are appropriate and well controlled."
It's one of those stick or twist situations. Moyes has done very well for WHU, but there's a perception that he's peaked. All depends who they bring in. Do they have serious intentions of finishing higher?
